| A Snowman Ornament to add to the gift box. |
Firstly I would like to thank all those lovely ladies who left me a comment on my last blog post wishing me a fun time at my retreat. I definitely took your advice and had a very enjoyable 5 days. There was lots of talking, laughing and eating going on, as well as catching up with some old sewing buddies. I also got to meet some new ladies so new friendships were made as well. I was a bit slack with taking photos this time but here are a few to show the venue and also what I got up to.

| My sewing space, Everyone working hard, Dress up Dinner on Monday night. Our meals were wonderful with lots of salads, fresh fruit , tasty main meals and freshly baked morning and afternoon teas and supper. |
Here is my place mat, the theme this time was stars and hexagons plus the colour gold. I worked on my Cabin in the Woods table topper from a couple of years ago,just need to layer, baste and quilt it now. Started to put these blocks together and made this hexagon flower in a mini class. Just needs a button in the centre.
Here is my name badge and we all got one of these click-clack bags to store our bits and pieces in made by Sue the camp co-ordinator.
I have some show and tell photos but will leave them until next time.
Till then Happy Stitching.....................
